Re: Moving to PZ-1p

[Joe Wilensky]

Agreed -- that's my favorite thing about the PZ-1p. Not only can you 
dial in separate flash exposure compensation from the body, but this 
even works with the built-in flash -- perfect for outdoor fill in if 
that's where you find yourself in need of a tiny bit of flash 
illumination to lighten shadows or give a reflection in the eyes. 
While all Pentaxes since the SF1/SFX have had the RTF (except the 
ZX-M, I believe), only the PZ-1p lets you easily dial in flash 
compensation for it and other TTL flashes in all modes (not just in 
manual).

This of course means that I am in the market for a AF360 flash and off
camera cords if any one has for sale?


With the PZ1p I might suggest the AF500FTZ rather than the AF360.
The 500FTZ has swivel, which is nice for bouncing off side walls (or
ceilings when the camera is in vertical orientation), and might be
easier to find second hand.
The PZ1p is really a good camera.  I think you will be pleasantly
surprised, especially with the easy way it allows flash exposure
compensation from the body.
